Nobody is going to throw that gear away. They'll replace the diaphragms but the glass and body should be fine.

Those are very broad boundaries, though. It's not clear that people from Gilroy, Rio Vista, and Geyserville all share common interests in Bay Area governance.

That's in the southern part of the central valley. In the northern part, the counties that make up the overtly racist separatist movement "State of Jefferson" what they want is to …

I hate to break it to you, but the population of California itself matches your description. It is impossible to divide the state into three equipopulous areas without those areas …

Self-leveling and washing are required by law for lights beyond a certain brightness. Older tech halogen headlights aren't as bright and don't require the fancy actuators and wiper…

NCR18650B is a specific series of parts from Panasonic(/Sanyo). If you want literally the exact battery that Tesla uses in the S, call Panasonic and tell them you want a shipment o…

I don't think those have ever been used in the model S.

The cells inside a Tesla S are off-the-shelf Panasonic catalog parts and are identical to parts found in some laptops (and flashlights, and so forth). Tesla's contributions are ent…

Yeah I know how much the tires cost. I want to know how many times they've replaced them because if they drove like me they would have spent all that money and then some, just on t…

What exact models are we comparing? HTC's current phones weigh more than the iPhone 6 and much more than the iPhone 5s. Note also that since Android follows the Windows/PC model, t…

So, did anyone put in their email to get the service records? Please repost. I'm interested in the cost of the tires.

The "technology" involved here is #1 understating the raw capacity of the battery and #2 managing the charge/discharge levels and rates to maintain that capacity. This gives a good…

After every household in America ponies up $1000 to rebuild your infinite spreading plane of HEB parking lots. You're welcome in advance, mr. bootstraps.

I agree that the well-funded suburban districts like Edmond will be the last to show signs of distress, but even Edmond has "emergency certified" teachers on staff. This term "emer…

Hundreds of millions of people rely on Himalayan glacier melt for their water. These nations also happen to be the least-able to diplomatically handle international river resource …

Oklahoma's natural resource exploitation regime is so lacking in regulation that they are notorious for their man-made earthquakes. It is near the theoretical lower limit of regula…

Oklahoma native here. The state is an interesting mix of utterly dysfunctional state government and reasonably competent city governments, in a state where most of the people live …

California has only 20 million acre feet of reservoir capacity, which is currently filled to 125% of typical levels. The last thing that state needs is another 75 million acre feet…

As they say: Is that a lot? I hate the way headlines measure things in useless units, just to get a bigger exponent. Why didn't they say it was 19000 trillion teaspoons? That's jus…

We are still in this ice age, technically speaking, but it is waning. At the peak of this ice age the ice was 2-3 miles high across much of North America. But human population expl…
